“The Crypto Comeback” —The Daily, May 21, 2024
The bell tolled for cryptocurrencies,
doomed in its sheer insufficiencies.
But halving came
to goose its game
so bitcoin seduces new licensees.
A trial judge had jailed poor Bankman-Fried,
a name that Dickens, I think, would have tried
for a modern-day Scrooge
as a free-market stooge,
giving Wall Street a bullish new pride.
Investors had cried when their gains bid adieu,
so turned to the courts to argue and sue
with tort after tort.
But now a report
says their payback includes all interest accrued.
